Oh!! Sorry, as you can tell, I thought you were talking about the cover!
It is obvious to me now that since you researched the cover you would be aware that it came in various colours. Sorry about that! As you have no doubt surmised, the Smak-Dab only comes in black, though there may be different colors sometime in the future - here is a quote from the FAQ's on the Smak-Dab website:

Q: Are other clip colors available beside briquette (black)?
A: Not yet, but we hope to provide the Smak-Dab Cover Secure in
a rainbow of colors in the future! Let us know what your color
choice would be!

Well, here is a direct quote from the Amazon Kindle cover technical description (with my emphasis added):

Patent-pending hinge and external strap keep Kindle securely in place

No, it is not a hinge in the sense of a door hinge, but "hinge system" is how Amazon refers to it.
Edit: whoops, looks as if RexGalore already pointed this out!
My only experience with the Amazon covers is with a Kindle 2 cover that my partner has. The hooks look like black metal to me. Are you sure the hooks on your Kindle 3 cover are plastic? If they are indeed plastic, that seems like a mighty weak way to attach the Kindle.
People have talked about the hinges bending and having to gently bend them back into the correct orientation; if they were plastic, I would think they would break, not bend. Again, are you sure they are plastic??
